I just stumbled across a little entertainment news blurb on the imdb yesterday—it’s the last one on this page. (I’d just quote it, but it’s got a big honkin copywrite notice, and I don’t want to get in trouble.)
::WTF smiley::
Am I just totally out of touch with modern society, or is that whole thing more than a little creepy?
Creepytastic. Does her dad ever say something that doesn’t give people the heebie jeebies?
“We’re celebrating the fact that she waited until she was married, and now she can do it until she’s blue in the face.”
Creepiest thing to come out of his mouth–ever.
It’s old news-I believe she mentioned it on her show. And that she lost the ring.
Last month I seem to recall her father saying something about her boobs.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to go and scrub my brain out with clorox.
shudder
Actually it’s not that new an idea…
I recall something on the news about people holding ‘promise ceremonies’ where they promised to remain a virgin until married and were given a ring (from their fathers iirc) only to be removed when they were given away to their husband-to-be at the altar so their wedding ring could be put on.
From here
And if they don’t promise, they are evil, slutty tramps and daddy won’t love them anymore…
It’s not the promise ring thing that’s creepy.
It’s Pop Simpson’s pseudo-marriage format.
He doesn’t seem to understand the difference between being a father and being a suitor. A Dad is not a suitor or pseudo-suitor until his daughter marries, and the notion is SO unhealthy.
There is something SERIOUSLY wrong with that man, IMO.
Yeah, he was just quoted recently talking about her double D’s.
Freak.
Frankly, daft or no, I think that girl turned out fairly well-balanced after growing up in that household.
I saw this the other day, and thought the same thing - how creepy!
Especially this part:
That just makes me shudder. “What better gift…”? Like we live in the middle ages and a woman goes from Goddess to Whore with one touch of a man.
Papa Simpson – a former Baptist minister – is a seriously fubared man, in many ways. He ranks right up there with Papa Jackson and Papas Pierce (dad of tennis star Mary) and Williams (i.e. Serena and Venus) as “Dud Dads.”
I’d really love to know what Mama Simpson thinks of all his commentary and his pushing of stardom on poor, sad little Ashlee who simply cannot sing. Jessica may be a dim bulb but she does have some pipes. Ashlee’s just the… I don’t know what. She’s entirely of daddy’s making, and that’s really troublesome. Isn’t one enough?
I wholeheartedly agree, I’m just sitting here shaking my head. ‘No, the best gift for a husband isn’t an intelligent and loving helpmate and best friend to share his life, no - by God it’s a hole!!’ Very creepy that her father is so concerned about the state of a hole on his daughter’s person. Pig. There are MUCH better ways to impress your daughter with the importance and beauty of her sexuality and the careful selection of her sexual partners.
:mad:
Did anyone happen to see Ashlee’s little number last night where she paraded around singing that she does it like an alley cat? Though it did little for me, it looked for all the world like she was trying to whore it up. So… what’s with that? Is she married now, too? Or are they applying different standards to the younger sister now that the older sister’s hymen has been torn through?
Sig line!
And I agree, this is creepy.
